Kaine is pleased to announce the band will be reuniting with original drummer and fellow band founder, Josh Moreton, for the gig at the Owl Sanctuary in Norwich on January 17th, 2015. Current drummer, Chris MacKinnon is unable to make the show due to a family commitment.

The band comments: "Josh was a very big part of Kaine’s foundation and we spent many hours putting together the songs that would end up on Falling Through Freedom. We also spent hours together jamming in sheds and taking those hard steps to becoming a regular gigging band which we were able to do after two years of solid work. It’s great to be playing with him again for this one show."

This marks the first time Josh has played with the band in two years. Josh has since been playing drums in Dismanibus and Forged in Black

Josh added: “I’m looking forward to a fun jam/sharing the stage with some old friends and excellent musicians again. Since then I’ve been working with Dismanibus on a new album. Recently, I’ve joined the heavy metal titans Forged in Black, and we have our single The Exodus coming out on December 1st that I’m excited about, as it’s a pretty good song. I’ve seen Kaine many times since I left and they’ve gotten pretty tight, so it should be good fun.”

The original Kaine line-up came close to reunion earlier this year with the founding members agreeing to do a show which unfortunately fell through. The line-up for the Norwich show will effectively be reuniting the "Falling Through Freedom" line-up with the addition of Saxon Davids on guitar. The band will be doing a mixture of new and old material on the night.

Britain's Kaine announced today that Saxon Davids will be joining the band on guitar permanently. Saxon recently filled in for Anthony Murch on the band's tour across Britain and Ireland with Mordred.

The band will now move forward as a 5 piece with Rage Sadler on rhythm guitars and vocals, Dan Mailer on bass and vocals, Anthony Murch on lead guitar, Saxon Davids on rhythm & lead guitars and Chris MacKinnon on drums.

Band founder Rage Sadler said: “We are very happy to welcome Saxon to the Kaine family. Saxon did a great job with us on tour; he showed absolute professionalism in learning and performing the songs live in such a short space of time. Personality wise he was a perfect fit for the band and after the reviews we had from our London show we thought why not?”

Saxon commented: “I’m very happy to become a full time member of Kaine and I am looking forward to what the future holds for the band as a 5 piece metal machine! Rage approached me pretty much straight after the Islington O2 Academy gig and discussed with me the possibility of this happening. That tour was one of the best experiences of my life from a personal and musical perspective, so to be asked to join the guys permanently is a great pleasure.” More...

"Kaine has dropped its American record label Static Tension less than a month after signing with them. This was due to the label being reluctant to print physical releases for the band as it didn’t believe it had the ability to sell them, describing it as a 'risk.' The band believed remaining with them after the decision not to produce a product to sell as pointless.

"Unfortunately Static Tension were unable to commit to creating physical materials it believed it could not sell. If a label doesn’t have the confidence in its own ability to market and sell a band just weeks after signing it then there is really no point in continuing. The decision to break was made when we were being asked to commit to buying vinyl’s from them. The deal was to give Static Tension free license to release our material in the United States on CD/Vinyl with them taking the lion share of the income despite not paying anything towards the production of the album. Their only costs would have been the production and advertising but again I am glad we have been able to get out of the deal early. This is just the kind of thing bands have to endure in a music industry on its knees.

"The band had turned down a number of offers from European labels earlier this year when they were being asked to give the record away for essentially nothing while accepting a number of free CDs to sell in return for exclusive rights to the album, which would have left the band with a significant loss.

"Kaine will not be looking for another label in the near future and will continue along the DIY route unless an offer of significance comes the bands way." More...

After posting a lengthy discussion on why the band had previously turned down label offers, British heavy metal group Kaine just signed a special record agreement with newly founded Static Tension Recordings.

The record deal gives Static Tension exclusive rights to market and sell Kaine’s album "The Waystone" in the United States over the next two years. Kaine is excited to be working with Static Tension on the upcoming U.S. release, which is scheduled for October 14th, 2014.

The band’s guitarist/vocalist, Rage Sadler, comments: “I am very pleased we have come to an agreement with Static Tension. This is the perfect deal for us as this gives them exclusive rights to sell and market the band in America while we receive a fair share of the income from record sales. The deal also enables us to continue selling our own CDs and allows us to retain all of our own digital and merch income. The majority of European labels are only interested in ripping bands off and we really couldn’t do this sort of deal with the labels that approached us. This definitely isn’t the case with Static Tension who are firmly in the 21st Century and moving with the times as we are.”

Kyle Stevens of Static Tension stated: “I am extremely pleased to have Kaine as my first signing to Static Tension Recordings. They’re continued hard work, business savvy, and most importantly, their song writing skills are a breath of fresh air in today’s stagnant talent pool. Proving that traditional heavy metal is alive and well will make the forefathers from the New Wave of Heavy Metal proud.”

Kaine is excited to announce the band has been added as last minute support to Mordred's tour of Britain/Ireland. Kaine was offered the slot after original openers Furyon had to cancel.

Kaine will be having a change of personnel for the tour as guitarist Anthony Murch will not be able to take up his duties due to work commitments. Anthony will however be playing the London date with the band.

Saxon Davids (Entropy) will be playing lead guitar for the rest of the tour. David has had two days and one rehearsal to get ready for this tour, which was only offered to the band and confirmed on Monday. Dates are as follows: More...

Kaine recently self-released new album "The Waystone" (which is available at Bandcamp here), and the band has now posted this message online to fans explaining why the group has turned down offers from record labels:

"Kaine has been negotiating with a number of established European record labels over the past month and despite having firm offers the band has decided to decline these deals.

"This is due to a number of reasons ranging from the labels wanting a high % of merch sales taken at gigs, total control over digital income to little or no income on any records sold and for the lack of any real plan, investment or advantage over releasing our material ourselves.

"The band funded 'The Waystone' entirely, to be essentially offered 50-100 free CDs to sell from these labels (we can produce our own CDs reasonably with Cram Duplication anyway) in return for the rights over our album with little or no % of sales offered to the band we didn’t believe these were fair or realistic offers. The album was a significant cost to the band and our objective is to break even on this cost, none of these offers would have allowed this to happen and would have resulted in a loss while essentially allowing them to make a small profit from our hard work.

"Our own CDs are selling well presently and we take 100% of the income minus a little for selling through bandcamp/CD Baby. We also retain 100% of our digital and merch income. This puts us in a very strong position moving forward.

"Kaine recently managed to negotiate a decent deal with a label in America which saw a fair % of return for sales and would have even lead to the album being released on vinyl, but this has also fallen through with them not being able to commit to their end of the agreement. We are very disappointed that this deal did not work out.

"The band has not been disheartened by this process, we have had bad experiences with labels in the past and are keen not to return to a loss making situation once more. As stated we are in a very strong position and while we may lack the investment to buy our way onto major festivals, supports and tours and into the established magazine we will continue to work hard, playing every show we can and try and buck the trend and be a success through hard work in what is a dying 'Metal' industry. We will continue to be 100% honest about what’s happening with the band and the challenges we face within the 'industry.'" More...

Britain's Kaine is proud to announce that the band's new album "The Waystone" will be released on CD and digital download this coming August 1st, 2014. The band's guitarist Rage Sadler had the following to say about the album:

"This is easily our best work to date, we spent a great deal of time crafting these songs in rehearsals and perfecting them before we went into the studio earlier this year. Akis K who produced the album did an amazing job with the production and I am really happy with the result.

"We hope that finally now the band gets some recognition after five years of being in the Heavy Metal wilderness! Many online reviewers have called this the 'Second Wave of NWOBHM,' the '80s Metal Revival' and compared us to the golden age of Iron Maiden, which has been great to read." More...

U.K. outfit Kaine has issued the following update about working on an upcoming new album:

"The mastering of the new album is now complete and the artwork is off with Cram Duplication ahead of the release for finalization. The mastering phase was completed by Z-Plane, which was recommended by the albums prouder Akis K.

"There is no official release date to be announced as of yet but there will be further information coming as soon as possible. The band is pleased with the outcome of the mixes and masters and looks forward to being able to finally release the album later this year."

Producer Akis K of Angry Bee Studios in London said: “Producing the new Kaine album was a great experience. Kaine write and play music that comes from within, without compromising and trying to conform to trends. Every single note and word in their songs is there for a good reason and the result is an album I am truly proud of.”

Rage Sadler added: “We worked extremely hard on this album starting with coming up with the material and the extensive rehearsals that followed during a time we were constantly on the road. To finally record it at the rate we did was exceptional, the whole thing was done in less than a week. Akis pushed us along the way and managed to get a great sound overall for the record and one that stands up alongside other releases of this day. We will hopefully be working with Akis again on future releases.”

British heavy metal band Kaine has issued the following update about gearing up to enter the recording studio:

"Today we were hard at work at the rehearsal studio and we are now ready to record the new Kaine album.

"This time we will be recording at Angry Bee Studios who have recently been working with our good friends and MGR Records label mates Monument. Dates for recording are yet to be finalised but we hope to begin next month."

You can also stream the band's previous album "Falling Through Freedom" over at this location.

We finally throw ourselves on the mercy of the masses!"
